Description:

This is the big beautiful crack staring at you from the Nautilus parking area. Looked at a lot and climbed a little. It isn't the sickening offwidth thrashfest it looks like but could easily turn into one if you lose your nerve. Basically it goes up, then out then up again. Your offwidth skills will be tested. Some disagreement on the rating exist. When I climbed it I felt it to be a 5.9, others call it a huge sandbag at that. This is not sport climbing, poor offwidth technique is no reason to call this route harder than it is, we'll say 5.9+, that is fair enough.

Fun route with OW. Think about ur feet through roof and you will

Fun route that was tiring but fun. I couldnt quite decide if right or left arm would have been better. Roof caught me off guard and fell once. I opened my eyes and pulled through and finished quickly. I think 5.9 was a good rating. Easier than Mother #1

Ascent Note

Definitely need a little offwidth technique for this one.... Climbed this on Mother's Day with my mom and dad looking on and freaking out...hehehe.. I really liked this climb, offwidthed the beginning section and then climbed the face above the little overhang, great.....
